Sour and sweet candied fish has a sour and sweet taste, delicious and appealing to the appetite, and is widely loved on family dining tables. If you learn how to make this dish, family gatherings and entertaining guests will surely receive unanimous praise.

This dish of candied flying fish is not sweet or sour, it's for people who don't like sweet and sour flavors. It looks like candied fish, but it's more about the 'sauce braised' flavor, which goes well with rice. You can eat several bowls of rice at once.

There are 2 key points to master when making this dish at home.1Firming the fish skin: Unlike making fish in restaurants, we don't usually use a whole pot of oil, but it's difficult to heat evenly with a little oil, so we must first brush the fish with egg liquid and a little starch before frying. This will make the fish golden and crispy, and it's a basic technique to achieve the effect of the whole fish.

2The recipe for the sauce: This is the flavor I personally matched, and it's the key to making it delicious. Controlling the sauce makes the fish more vibrant and prevents it from becoming too dark or too salty when braised. My method is just for reference, you can make your own unique flavor according to your preference. If you like a crispy texture, you can fry the fish a little deeper, and if you follow the recipe, you'll get a flavor-rich dish. Here's my detailed recipe.
